so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

I'm curious, how many (what percentage) flunk out of real service dog training? The only experience I've had with them is providing vet services when needed.

The true victims of all the fake service dog scams are the actual people who need them. People have been so bombarded by the fakers that they automatically assume anyone with a dog in a place of business is gaming the system. These amazing dogs are truly doing God's work. It is truly sad that the lowest of the low have brought us all to the point that we assume nearly every service dog is a fake and the person with them is a lout.

...So instead of railing against “fake service dogs” let’s really define the problem: obedience training not required for emotional support dogs.
That is accurate, and probably a reason that emotional support animals are not included in the ADA even though they can provide a valuable service. Perhaps they should be included provided the animal is trained in obedience.

AVMA panel exploring options for cracking down on bogus service animals
Service animals receive intensive training to perform specialized tasks for people with impaired abilities, and the Americans with Disabilities Act requires businesses to admit service animals, but the same is not true of comfort or emotional support animals, many of which are simply pets. Some websites have begun peddling bogus certifications and identification vests, and the AVMA is exploring regulatory options, says Dr. Zenithson Ng, a member of the AVMA's Steering Committee on Human-Animal Interaction.

We often go to RV campgrounds where RV folks have two, three and even four dogs. Why would anyone need that many dogs to go camping? 🙂
It depends on how cold the nights get.....LOL! Ed calls our two his "leg warmers"

I DO thinkmany of the fake service dogs are located in the warmer states; I see many in Florida - not so many in Michigan.
I think a tiny bit of it has to do with leaving your dog in a hot car.
